THE FOURTH FOOL

Bolívar once said: "Christ, Don Quixote and I, the three fools of history" ... Likely Che, in the cold of the Bolivian jungle, thought of himself like the fourth fool.

Thus, the highest rung of human species, of being Revolutionary, of being a fool, is reserved for recalcitrant people to the cause of love for world-building, and who are trying to engage life.

Fool is the highest honor that a human can aspire, it is reserved for those who reach the highest peaks of the Revolutionary eagerness, and it is a Degree created by the same Simón Bolivar.

We do not know if Che was a known member of this select group ... It does not matter, there is no doubt he is the fourth fool.

Che was a lofty Revolutionary, he wanted to change the entire world, his goal was humanity, he grew so much that the globe fit him small. Asia, Africa, America and Europe were theater of operation for his theory and practice. He criticized and struggled in all humanity, and proposed a theory to transform the planet.

Thus, the big think big, they have the ability to respond to the fundamental problems of existence of mankind, they do not confine, and their environment is worldwide.

Che –brave- questioned the way of the so-called "real Socialism", the Soviet and Chinese, but not as an excuse to return to the shameful refuge of capitalism, but to go on an adventure of sailing into the future. He developed the theoretical compass to guide humanity in this necessary journey.

His life is an example, his theory is required azimuth. It is unthinkable a Revolution without it being deeply soaked in the ideas of Che.

There is no Socialism without fulfilling the commandments of Che, which are the same of all fools:

Love one another. This command of Christ, which spans two thousand years of history and its validity remains intact, has guided the Revolutionaries, the fools.

Spirit over material. Che based his whole theory that Socialism is not a material matter, it is primarily a spiritual fact.

Fraternity over hate. Che -following Marti's teachings- preached that only love builds. Let’s remember the idea that Revolution is guided by deep feelings of love.

Offering life, loyal to the cause of humbles. Loyalty is an essential condition for the Revolutionary task. Loyalty to the principles and men who embody them.

A large dose of insanity. Diving into the void with no safety net. The Revolutionary fact -unprecedented in its essence- needs madness to dare, to leave the mooring at the port of habit, and throw in the vertigo of flying high.

To not aim for more glory than serving. The Revolutionary has the quality of playing God, while keeps his humility where he recognizes himself as a particle altogether.

With Chavez more than ever!
